then there is john mccain. everything has changed since the election. it was politically not viable and now it has become politically viable. host: this comment by grover norquist from a cbs news story. host: this from nbc news, i apologize. from nebraska.sc caller: thank you for taking my call. latinos when for obama primarily for the immigration issue. you do not think that is narrow minded or the might be other issues that latinos are focusing in. if you would want to discuss those. guest: that is an excellent question. polling shows that what voters care for our jobs and the economy. immigration is either number two or number 3 on their list of things that they care about. it is much higher in places like arizona. it is the number two issue among hispanics. my sense has been that i do not think hispanics always want to be associated with immigration. it is difficult to separate the immigration conversation from them because it is so integral to their lives. 60% of hispanic voters know somebody personally that is undocumented and they could be dating

john mccain shared that same belief, our last candidate. gregg: it went nowhere. >> it went somewhere for george bush that got 44% of the hispanic vote in 2004, a percentage higher than barack obama got this year. there is a vibrant part of the republican party that understands that there has to be a practical solution to the fact that there are 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country. at the same time we could smartly deal with border security to prevent the flood of more. but for those 11 million year we just can't say selfdeportation as a solution. gregg: speaker john boehner came out and said and i'll quote, a comprehensive approach is long overdue. politically is now a good time to try and do it? >> well i don't think the republicans really have a choice at this point. i think the writing is on the wall that they are going to need to work with the president on it. and hopefully we will be able to actually see both sides come together and do some sort of comprehensive immigration reform. it's true that george bush -- george b

senator john mccain took the lead on the republican side. president barack obama, then a senator, was part of that effort. unfortunately we haven't moved forward since those days. there's one part of immigration reform which is very important to me personally. it's known as the dream act. 11 years ago i introduced this legislation for the first time. it would allow a select group of immigrant students with great potential to contribute to this country. the dream act would give these students a chance to earn their way to citizenship if they came to the u.s. as children, have good moral character, graduated from high school and at least complete two years of college or serve in our military. these young people grew up in america, and they've overcome great obstacles. they went to school with many of our own kids and are valedictorians, star agent leads, leaders in the rotc. they are future teachers, doctors, engineers who would make america stronger. why would we want to educate them and lose their talents for the future of our country? last
